Titans Offseason Status Report


The Titans and their fans have high expectations for the upcoming 2009-2010 season after going 13-3 last season.

The draft ended up being a good one for the Titans as they addressed their strong need for a wide receiver by picking up Kenny Britt out of Rutgers.

I was ready to give the Titans a C+ for draft day until they snagged Michigan State's Javon Ringer in the 5th round. Ringer could end up being a great backup to Chris Johnson. This pick tells me something may not be panning out with Lendale White.

Recently acquired wide receiver Nate Washington is getting a great reception from fans and players this offseason. We'll have to wait till the regular season to see if he can become that true #1 receiver the Titans have needed for years.

The Titans have already started optional practices this offseason, and the player with the most eyes on him is Vince Young. There's still a huge question mark behind whether or not he will ever start for the Titans again. Something is going to have to happen fast because current started Kerry Collins might have two years at the most before he retires.

Young has been present for every day of the offseason and that says a lot about his desire to start again. For much of last season, Young wasn't even ready emotionally, much less physically.

Something has to be figured out this season on Young's future because he's taking up cap room and we can't continue to hold onto a quarterback that's not going to contribute to the team in any way. However, everyone deserves a second chance, and Vince Young will hopefully get his as a Titan.
